  • Notes 
    • Herbert D. Strauss, senior executive officer of Grey Advertising, Inc., died of a heart attack yesterday in his apartment in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. He was 63 years old and also had a home here.

      Mr. Strauss joined Grey in 1939 as an account executive and rose to president in 1961, relinquishing that position in 1967 to become chief executive and chairman of the management committee. He was named senior executive officer in 1969.

      Mr. Strauss was concerned with the development of the agency's creative staffs and its management. When he assumed the presidency, the agency was billing $52-million. When he gave up the position of chief executive officer in 1969, the agency had billings of more than $230-million.

      Born in Rochester, N.Y., April 21, 1909, Mr. Strauss received a B. S. degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in 1931. The next year he became advertising manager of the Riggs Optical Company, Chicago, a subsidiary of Bausch & Lomb, Inc., where he remained until he joined Grey.

      A director of the American Association of Advertising Agencies and, former chairman of its New York Council, Mr. Strauss was also a director of the National Outdoor Advertising Bureau and Better Business Bureau of New York. He had served as vice chairman of Region II, Boy Scouts of America, and received the Silver Buffalo and Silver Antelope awards.
